the best weekend ever...

This past weekend was definitely one for the record books. The girls and I had SO MUCH FUN! On Saturday, the girls and I spent the late morning/early afternoon (after my am cooking and baking party) swimming. The girls love the pool. I really must sign them up for swim lessons soon. Saturday evening we packed up our picnic dinner (chicken cutlets with motz cheese and basil on cibatta bread, corn and tomato salad, iced tea and raspberry cheesecake bars) and headed to Boordy vineyards. It was a great evening to throw a blanket on the lawn, relax and listen to/ dance to a Jimmy Buffett/ Beach Boys cover band. The girls and I ate, played cards and danced. We even made some new friends.

Sunday morning we woke up late and hit the pool again. We didn't stay for too long because the girls really wanted me to finish sewing a bag that I was working on. After showers and a completed bag, we packed up another picnic and headed to Oregon Ridge for another outdoor concert and fireworks. The BSO was great. I loved laying on our blanket, snuggled together listening to music and watching fireworks. It was a perfect night with my girls.

On Monday the girls and I had a bit of movie marathon. I was working on sewing a new purse (which I'm in love with). We ate ice cream for lunch and drove over to my parents house for a cookout. The girls ran around in the backyard and my mom helped them to roast marshmellows over the grill. We all had another great night.

I think we need a weekend from our weekend.

This weekend, the girls are with their Dad and I'm going tubing down the Gunpowder! I'm also hoping to get a good run in both days.
